Largest grant of space program to scramjets

摘要

The University of Queensland Scramjet program has been awarded $5 million in phase one of the Australian Space Research Program - the largest grant offered from the program.rnAlong with $9 million from an international partnership consortium, UQ will work toward further developing scramjet-based access-to-space systems, flying an autonomous scramjet vehicle at eight times the speed of sound - Mach 8, or 8600km/h.
